Easy to park, easy to check in. We requested a roll-in bed and they delivered on time. Clean room, bathroom has a shower stall and a bathtub. A popular Italian restaurant was just steps away from the front desk area. Free breakfast was good. Location was close to highways, grocery stores, department stores, but the hotel area was quiet.
